habigman Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Restored version of the Halban & Damask Wien Hat Display stand. It is made of brass with a copper finish. There were some scratches on the copper finish that couldn't be fixed but I think it looks nice plus very unique. At least I haven't seen anything like it. Probably from just before WWI so displayed with a period Hückel Melone. What is interesting is the company that made the stand TH Hausermann & Co. is still in business today making specialized printed circut boards. http://www.haeusermann.co.at/1,about/10,History/16,A-future-based-on-Experience I was able to find some Hungarian newpaper ads from the 1920s that mention KuK Hof Hutfabrikten Halban & Damask Wien but nothing else.

habigman Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Halban & Damask, Velour, size 58cm. Very rare find by Qirrel on the FL. This is the first soft felt Halban & Damask Wien soft felt I have encountered. It was an export to Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Halban & Damask Velour, 58 cm possibly 1920s. This is the first soft felt Halban & Damask Wien soft felt I have encountered and it was an export to Norway. This rare find was made back in 2012 by FL member Qirrel (see above). I would like to thank Garrett for letting me know that it had come up for auction on Ebay. Open Crown Natural Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
